QuickStart is a total life safety solution that brings the power of big-system analog technology to small and mid-size applications. Thanks to it’s flexibility and simple setup and operation, QS4 is ideal for new installations in schools, apartment buildings, hospitals, office buildings, and retail facilities. The benefits brought by QS4 to retrofit applications underscores the true potential of this powerful system. As an intelligent panel, QS4 supports Signature Series devices, which can use existing wiring in most retrofit applications. As a conventional panel, QS4 supports compatible devices already installed at the site. And as a hybrid system, the QS4 supports new Signature Series devices, and existing conventional detectors – while leaving plenty of room for expansion. No need to tear a building apart to upgrade the life safety system: with QS4 you have the best of both worlds.
GE Security’s QS4 QuickStart life safety control panel provides conventional and intelligent addressable circuits in a single intelligent control panel. Designed for easy setup and simple installation, QuickStart lives up to its name in every respect. QS4’s exclusive QuickStart auto-learn function, and the option of configuring the panel using convenient front panel programming or from a PC, makes short work of system setup. Devices come on-line in no time as well, thanks to QS4’s built-in barcode scanner port. A simple pass of the optional scanner is all it takes to store device information in the QuickStart database. The scanner can also be used for quick and easy text entry when assembling custom messages. QS4’s setup routine is deceptively simple, considering this system’s robust features and broad capacity. Supporting up to 1,000 intelligent detectors and modules, QS4 takes full advantage of GE Security’s exclusive Signature Series technology, which provides electronic addressing, automatic device mapping, environmental compensation, and true multisensor detection. As a hybrid system, QS4 combines Signature Series support along with up to 48 conventional Class B or a combination of 40 Class A and Class B initiating circuits. Compatible with either two- or four wire detectors, these circuits also provide built-in support for GE Security’s EC family of conventional detectors. QuickStart’s design leaves plenty of room for system expansion. Option cards snap onto QS4’s easily-accessible DIN mounting rails These cards include a dialer, auxiliary relays, and additional system capacity. The QS4 also supports as many as eight remote annunciators and up to 60 programmable front panel switches with dual LEDs for system control and display. QuickStart
